Puhastatult

Puhastatult is an Estonian adverb formed from the past participle puhastatud, meaning “purified,” with the adverbial suffix -ult. It denotes performing an action in a purified state or describing a substance or material that has undergone purification. The term is primarily found in technical and scientific contexts.

Etymology and form: The base is the verb puhastama (to purify) and its passive participle puhastatud (purified). By adding the adverbial suffix -ult, puhastatult expresses manner or condition, commonly equivalent to “in a purified form” or “purifiedly.”

Usage: Puhastatult is used mainly in chemistry, biology, pharmacology and related technical fields to specify that a material or sample has been purified. It typically precedes or accompanies nouns, as in phrases like puhastatult eraldatud valgud (purified proteins) or puhastatult töödeldud lahus (purifiedly processed solution). Outside scientific writing, its use is rare and may sound overly formal.

Limitations and notes: Some readers may encounter puhastatult as a specialized or less common adverbial form. In everyday Estonian, writers may opt for adjectives such as puhastatud or more descriptive phrases to convey the same idea, depending on style and audience.

See also: puhastus, puhastamine, puhastusprotsess, puhastatud. These related terms cover purification as a process and the resulting purified materials or states.
